Nice place
We enjoyed our stay along with our pup. Nice deck to have morning coffee. Kitchen has a good selection of pots, pans and dishes to make wonderful meals. Would definitely stay again.

Awesome place to stay with pets and great views!
This is our second time at this location in Eastham. We really love the views of the water at breakfast time on the deck with our dogs. The only concern we had was entering the house. (#418 Foremast) The front stairs were pitched and made it difficult to safely get in or out, (especially with dogs on leash). It needs to be fixed and leveled so you can easily enter or exit. Other than that, we sure love it here. Would definitely recommend to friends. 🙂

5 star 🌟 location
The house is right on the waters edge- you couldn't get any closer unless you took a canoe into the ocean 😉 The deck is perfect for morning coffee, wine at sunset & everything in between. The house itself is cute, small but efficient. The fridge & stove are apt/efficiency size so plan accordingly if you're going to cook dinners etc. It worked for us for a (3) girls weekend getaway as we cooked dinner both nights but worth noting. The house is dated which is somewhat typical for the area. Nothing different than what the pictures represent. The game room is in a separate building on the property which we didn't use so can't speak to that. Easy check in. Good communication. Stayed in off season - very quiet & relaxing.

Great Waterfront
Relaxing location on water to enjoy the Cape. Although the rental was a property on route 6, our spot as on the water with a house in back of us. No real road travel to disturb our sleep. Comfortable beds. Kitchen was adequate for use but stove burners did not work well-needs to be replaced. Same replacement need with older fridge. There were 3 different types of shades in one bedroom-really? And one was completely broken and unusable. Maintenance guy who came to deal with issues was top notch! Would love to rent this spot again after problems are addressed with some paint, repairs, and updates.

We love it here!
We love the place! A couple minor things could be done to the rental to make it even better like replacing rusty bathroom curtain hooks and shower caddy. But overall we loved it! Great location and we loved the kayak rentals. We will likely bring our own life vests next time but they do have some you can use.

Cape Escape
It would be hard to find a more beautiful setting. It is as wonderful as it looks in the photos. The house was very clean and the staff was friendly. It is only several minutes to the National Seashore Headquarters in Eastham and there are numerous beaches on both the Atlantic and bay side to visit. Orleans has many restaurants: we recommend Sir Crickets for the best beer batter fish and chips. We bought lobster and cooked it ourselves at the cottage. The secret for getting the lobster pot out of the cabinet is to turn it on its side!

beautiful location
The property is situated in a beautiful spot on the water. The big windows and the working fireplace are wonderful. However, light in the toilet was not working; the cooker also was not working properly; the pots and pans were dirty and old, peeling off etc., really unsanitary. Also the selection was limited not really for a family cooking proper food the entire week. And there are no cupboard for storing food. The manager contacted me once via message I responded explaining the issues but never heard back. So overall this was not up to the expected standards given the price per night. Gorgeous location and nice little cottage but management really needs to invest on proper cooking gear and re-organizing the kitchen to make it really usable by families or people who actually cook proper food daily. If you do not cook then you have no issues with it.

Thank you for your feedback Alessia! The waterfront cottage has amazing views and a true sense of peace. I appreciate your candid feedback on the kitchen amenities which will help us invest to improve them further. While it is only a cottage style kitchen - for many guests it suffices for all their meals - especially since we have the large propane grill on the deck. Maybe you could visit again in the summer months some day? Safe travels - Luke

Fabulous!
This two bedroom house is adorable, comfortable, and immaculate. It is literally right on Orleans Cove. The view is beautiful. We were able to see the sunrise and sunset from the couch and deck with plenty of water wildlife too. We enjoyed the stay very much and wish we had had the time to stay longer!

Anchorage on the cove
We had a good experience overall. The property is very close to the busiest road on the cape. I did not realize this when I rented. It is very difficult to pull out of the property. This was the biggest drawback.

Charming cottage.
We had a great time. The cottage looks exactly like the pictures. We had a bulb go out in the bathroom and it was fixed the next day. Very clean with all the modcons and, most of all, an amazing view!

New management not a problem
We've been regulars at Anchorage on the Cove for the past 15 years. This year was a little different for us because the owners gave the management responsibilities over to Del Mar. The tradeoff was losing the personal touch from the owners and only getting one week's stay, but overall, the management group was efficient, personable, and helpful. The reason it took so long to write this review (a month later) was that we were waiting to see if we'd get our $200 damage deposit back (were never charged that before). Since there were issues upon our arrival, we quickly took pics, made some calls, and sent them on to management to ensure we weren't pegged as the guilty party. Del Mar was responsive to our calls and resolved the issues we identified. The parking was a problem that management couldn't resolve, and I encourage them to figure out a way to ensure that guests respect assigned spaces. We could've done without several days' anxiety from this, but we enjoyed our stay overall, recently received the full damage deposit back, and all is well.
